Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove heliumcli dependency, replace with
 bin/update-projects.sh

- Add bin/update-projects.sh as a bash replacement for
  `helium-cli update-projects` (clone-if-missing / fetch+pull /
  make install in each project under projects/)
- Update Makefile install target to invoke the new script
- Rename HELIUMCLI_PROJECTS Makefile var to PROJECTS; format change
  from JSON list to space-separated word list
- Drop heliumcli==1.6.38 from requirements.txt
- Delete .heliumcli.yml (no longer used)

Phase 3 of the legacy-shutdown stack. Phase 2 removed the bulk of the
heliumcli surface (trigger-release.py, the legacy release workflow,
the legacy release script); this PR handles the remaining four touch
points so the dep can be removed and HeliumEdu/heliumcli archived.

Per HE-320.
